What is energy work anyway?
The human body contains energy that is moving around inside of us and is intricately connected to our body, mind and spirit. This energy field can also exist outside of our body. Our energy can become blocked for various reasons including trauma, emotional wounds, or old thought patterns. Energy blockages can be expressed as illness, disease, pain or any variety of human ailments. There is also a universal energy that is available to all of us to assist in our healing. Energy healing is about connecting to universal energy, removing energy blocks and improving energy flow in the body and its surrounding energy field in order to promote healing and wellness. The practitioner sets an intention for the client’s highest good and uses focused attention to promote the flow of universal energy within the client as the body does its own healing.
The energy does no harm. Some people can feel energy and describe it with words like warmth, tingly, flowing goose bumps, or other sensations. Others do not feel anything and energy healing is effective regardless of physical sensations. Some people may also fall asleep during an energy session. Others may experience emotions such as sadness or joy and may cry or laugh out loud. The energy is connected to everything within us and no outcome is bad - anything that surfaces is okay. Common outcomes from energy work include a deep sense of relaxation, shifts in pain, and a greater sense of well-being.
What to expect during a session:
Energy sessions typically last one hour including some conversation at the beginning of the session to learn about any health issues and to gain an understanding of what the client would like to work with during the session. During energy work the client is fully clothed and usually will lie down on a massage table (a chair can be used if the client would rather sit). The practitioner can do energy work in the field around the person or use light touch on the body at key points such as the feet, knees, arms and head if the client is comfortable with touch. Often practitioners will play soothing music and guide the client in deep breathing exercises or guided imagery to facilitate relaxation during the session. The client should let the practitioner know immediately if something feels uncomfortable or just not right. It is okay to end the session at any point if the client feels uncomfortable. Most people experience a deep sense of relaxation, an increased sense of wellness, and improved sleep after an energy session.
